It all takes place in the 17th century, and the Qing Dynasty have polaced a ban on the practice of martial arts among common people. There are massive rewards for the heads of men, women and children – so a warlord named Fire Wind is out and about to cash in on this in a totally ruthless fashion.
When Fire-Wind’s men are finishing up at a village, they discover one more survivor who fights exceptionally well, trying to defend himself without hurting anyone. He eventually escapes and some men are sent after him. He eventually finds a young girl being attacked by one of Fire-Wind’s men and saves her, but is seriously injured. She takes him back to her village to recover.
Once there we learn the man is Fu Qingzhu, a former head choppin’ bad guy who claims to have turned good, saving people to make up for all of the lives he has taken in his life. Not trusting him (after some personal testimony to his cunning), the villagers lock him up to decide his fate. That’s when a young man and young woman free him and head to Mount Heaven seeking help.
The three travellers return with four more, each carrying a sword of their own. Dragon is a sword being carried by Chu Zhaonan (Donnie Yen), Transience by Yang Yuncong (Leon Lai), Unlearnt by Fu Qingzhu (Lau Kar-Leung), Heaven’s fall by Wu Yuanying (Charlie Leung), Deity by Han Zhibang (Lu Yi), Celestial Beam by Mulang (Duncan Chow) and Star Chasers which is wielded by Xin Longzi (played by Tai Li-wu).
These seven warriors arrive in time to save the village form a small attack. Afterwards they plan and work together to remove the threat and save the villagers.
